You Grow Girl: Gardening for the People

Speaking of Spring, You Grow Girl is an amazing website that will inspire both the novice and experienced gardener (and no, you don't have to be a girl). Our friend Roni turned us on to You Grow Girl a couple of weeks ago, and we have been daydreaming about all of the upcoming possibilites for our homes (both outside and inside) ever since.

The site has it all: discussion and community forums, tips on how to grow and care for your plants, starting and maintaining a garden, and learning about the seasons. The site's creator, Gayla Trail, encourages people to garden in whatever space they have available, a great reminder for city dwellers and the garden-phobic. Our not-so-green thumbs have a lot to learn, so we plan on visiting this user-friendly site often. If you love the site as much as we do, you may want to check out You Grow Girl,the book, written by Trail in 2005.(Thanks, Roni!)
